The notorious “Sony check,” where Sony makes frequently puritanical demands of developers in order to keep any hint of sex off its consoles, seems to have reached new lows, with one developer describing how Sony would insist characters wearing normal gym kit be removed unless they had a compelling reason for sporting them…

So it seems that whilst scenes of delightful carnage like those seen below can count on release without apparent difficulty, something so scandalous as a pair of bloomers can expect to be ruthlessly purged from Sony’s wholesome PlayStation…

I hated how Nintendo had them censor KimoKawaE something like one week prior to release. After seeing the heavily boner-inducing picture of a delicious loli-ass complete with secret parts in every article about the game, I finally ordered it. When I reached that scene ten minutes after starting the game, I found the secret place and large parts of the ass covered by an out-of-place-looking additional strap of cloth. I cried manly tears.

There ARE living, breathing 3D schoolgirls all over Japan wearing PE bloomers anyway! If you’re in Tokyo, Osaka or wherever you live within viewing distance of a local secondary school, all you might need is a good ol’ telescope or a trusty pair of binoculars!

Incorrect. Bloomers were brought to the brink of extinction years ago in Japan because of hysteria in the 90’s.
Only a handful of educational institutions still protect the tradition of utilizing the bloomer.
The majority however have been switched to the use of spats / shorts (half pants).

Remember, the Japan you see in anime/games etc does not reflect reality accurately.

A word borrowed from English that does not retain it’s original meaning.
In the end spats are much more fetishistic than buruma anyways (in the same league as the old sukumizu material wise :D) so all was really a pointless effort lol.

Wow that sucks, theres no reason to buy it then since there is no story after all it was just getting the girls into position for the next scene that made it worth watching. Well, naturally with the enthusiastic sound of the Japanese Voice Actors adding to it. The game is on the Xbox360 and its ‘uncut’? Hmmm, a chart will need to be made of cut and uncut versions of all games and the systems.

You know Sony checks all probly came in june when equlity now was browbeating the goverment into banning anything halfway perverted not feminazi raping schoolboys. So Sony checks was them coving there own assess so they wouldn’t be accused of saling lolicon games if they did ban it.

Well, it’s not like I would give damn about Sony anyway, now it’s even more reason to ignore them completely. People, it’s time to create your own game, their is tons of game engines float around, let’s your creativity run wild !!!

its been a while since, not only sony but nintendo too( and this last one here, IMHO, the most puritan evah)are doing such things, thinking just in numbers, statistics and forgetting what games are all about…

Sony comes with their graphics, nintendo with its revolutionary ideas, both cutting, slicing, purging all “non related content” under their seal of approval…

MS? nah…they have to grow a little more to become a filthy company…

like i said, they are forgetting what games are all about, what be a gamer is all about…

I know exactly what it means to be a gamer, having gamed through most of my savings, forgetting everything I was ever taught in all education facilities I was a student at
– because of pokemon, mostly –

a gamer, people who dedicate himself (or spare their time) to gain more knowledge about game (usually video game, maybe poker player a gamer too), rated the game, share it with other gamer or mere common people (this share thing is more into hobbies),LOVE THE GAME, and HAVE FUN WITH IT.

I agree with shoranhimura
make me remember tetris and SMB, developer make it for fun, we played it because it’s fun, WE PAYED THEM SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE GAMES, and they love doing that LIKE A CHARITY (yes, charity. Don’t forget why we have homebrewers).
Now, gaming industry is serious business..
it is same as stock..

Learn cutting and slicing with Kratos!
not only will you gain all the respect you ever wanted (after playing thruogh the game).
But you also will learn that bloomers and nipples are always bad-bad, but gore and violence is always win-win.

This is why you’ve got to use violence against social conservatives to give them a taste of their own fucking medicine. But no, you guys are waaaaay too pussy that you like to get stepped on Every. Single. Time.

Anyway, they shouldn’t place so much relevence in sex by denying it. Keep it in it’s place by letting it in the story. People have sex, that is a part of life so stories born from life should include sex.

I believe the people who are in a place to decide on such things are quite intelligent and do not have any problem with such content. But they fear the minorities that could cause bad press. It’s all about self-censorship.

And that’s the problem. Sony is a powerful electronics conglomerate. Since there’s objectively nothing wrong with the content they censor, they have the very best of chances to wipe the floor with every feminist/moralist organization that makes the mistake of picking a fight with them over this (and this is what needs to happen or no news outlet will care enough to give them bad press) – there is absolutely no reason for them to be spineless cowards. Especially in the Japanese market, they’re hurting their sales with this policy.

For removing unauthorized storage? Anyone with half a brain should know that anything without the golden seal, be it for the PS3 or 360, is not guaranteed to work with it. I it a dick move? Yes. Is it a surprise? Not by a long shot.

Because having your console promoted as a platform catering to pedophiles is a good business plan?

Most and by that i mean just about the entire western market wont know any better.
Sony does not cater just to Japan and thus enforces these rules globally. Or you rather have them bring back the region lock?

is it me or do games targeted at western audiences such as of GOW3 have no censoring? this game is guaranteed to have nudity, and will surely get another sex minigame. maybe they don’t want to censor good games that actually matter or something,so these visual novel ports don’t count, as GOW3 is going to rake in major profits for sony, especially here in the US.

oh, and if people are going to bitch about the censoring on the console versions, just get the pc one for christ’s sake. pirate it if you care that much.

The Sony check is more than likely just a tool for neutrality, so “everybody wins” since you still get to play the game and it doesn’t hurt sales of people who would be upset and not start anything with feminist groups (but then again, they’d be starting something with anti-violence groups with the GoW game, but it boils down to which has the most power).

But of course, there are people who would rather not deal with that. If there’s another version with what you want in it, by all means. I would.

agree, Sony check has the reason, they don’t want make any contra damn groups other than anti-violence(well, lot games have violence, and GTA, GOW, etc is might be part of American game trademark, and we love it didn’t we?)

Anyway, they knows, PC is there, for fap hunger like us, Sankaku user.
